《Gallinus》10- Run
Advertisement
With the Sunrise, I wake up again in the darkness.
… How many days has it been since I arrived in this world? About 9 days?
After Suzy signed up, she became even more rigorous in training.
I wonder what we will find going up that tower…
When I stop to think about the tower, I start to wonder how many floors it has.
There should not be many, but its length says that each floor will be large… Anyway, this is a concern for later.
As soon as I finish thinking, I hear the sound of the girl waking up.
Another training day is about to begin…
[...]
Today is being a strange day.
In the morning, Suzy’s mother woke up really late and doesn’t seem to be doing very well.
Is she sick?
Suzy also looked concerned, but she couldn’t miss a single day to train.
So, we headed for the backyard, returning to regular training.
- Galizé, let’s practice! Don’t just stand there! – Says the girl, watching me while I’m on top of a rock
I still don’t understand why a baby chicken needs to train…
In my head, unless this girl wants to make a cockfight, what I’m doing doesn’t make sense.
Wait, she won’t force me to fight another animal like that armadillo, right?
Just remembering the armadillo, I start to shiver.
You know what? Maybe I better get away while I have time.
This idea has been in my mind for some time now and, with this strange event approaching, I am increasingly willing to do so.
While I’m thinking of a plan to escape, someone claps at the entrance to Suzy’s house.
Visit? This is very rare.
Since I have been living here, there has been no visit.
I wonder who it is…
While I’m thinking, Suzy goes to the entrance and brings the visitor inside.
The one who showed up was her friend, who lost in the battle against her, along with his pet armadillo

If I remember correctly... Was his name Gabel?
After that day, I was wondering if the two were still friends.
- So, you were training with your Gallinus? Does he already follow your commands? – The boy asks, showing a smile.
- No… - Suzy answers, disappointed.
Disappointment is a shade of dark blue, but with something more mixed.
I think it’s a dark blue with purple. I can’t be sure.
The reason I know about this? Well, I pretty much refuse to train that she’s always excited to do.
- You still can’t control it?! Hahaha… - Gabel starts to laugh, as if he’s provoking her.
- But he’s training with me! Soon my Gallinus will be able to defeat yours Utta! – Suzy says confidently, changing her color to light blue.
I already suspected, but light blue is something related to trust… Soon I will be able to read anyone.
My goal, after spending some time in this world, is to be able to understand all the colors, so that I can take advantage of it.
Knowing how others feel… I will be able to control anyone I want!
As I don’t know if I can go back to my world, I, at least, want to abuse this skill and achieve an easy life.
But there is a big problem… I can’t communicate!!
And so, my goal is undone before even start to elaborate it properly.
Anyway, while I was sad about life, Gabel seemed to have called Suzy for another fight.
- I may have lost it by letting my guard down before, but now it’s different! – He speaks, with a confident smile. – You won’t be able to defeat me!
- Gabel, even though I don’t have a great cultivation like yours, I will still show that I can defeat you! – Suzy talks with the light blue around her.
Cultivation? There is another word that I don’t know! Why don’t you explain something to me you kid?

- Do you really think you can do it? Let’s seen then! – Gabel says before rocks start to gather around his body. – This time we will find out who is the strongest!
This time, it looks like he won’t start the fight until he’s really ready.
- Right, the let – The young man is interrupted in his speech.
- What are you two doing in the backyard?! – Suzy’s mother exclaims seeing Gabel’s armor.
As the rock armor is made from the field, then several holes appeared in the ground.
- You two… If you are going to train, then go somewhere else!!
- Yes, ma’am… - The two responds before leaving the garden.
So Suzy’s mother is the strongest… Oh, I can see a color in her.
I can see the red color latent around her.
I thought she was sick, but that doesn’t seem to be the case…
While thinking about it, Suzy took me in her arms to take me along.
… Why do I have to go?
I wonder as the two enter the woods next to the house and stop in an open place.
- …Well, here we probably won’t have any interference! – Says Gabel, turning to Suzy.
- So, let’s start? – Speaks the girl, excited.
In the meantime, I am left out with the armadillo.
Looking at him, the armadillo stands still, but it is still quite intimidating.
… Hey, how are you?
I swing my wing, as a greeting, but the armadillo just looks at me and then sees its master again.
An Armadillo of few words…
I resolve to turn my attention to the battle as well, for which the two participants are already prepared.
- Well, you can start. – Says Gabel, who remains standing with his armor.
- So… - Suzy says that, before running at full speed.
Taking advantage of her speed, she strikes her right fist on the armor, before retreating.
- It’s really hard… - The girl murmurs, massaging her hands.
- Already gave up? I thought you could do more than that! – The boy teases her.
- I’m just seeing the hardness of that armor. – Suzy speaks, changing to her battle position. – Now let’s start the serious fight.
Wait, I want to see this!
Before Suzy strikes again, I enter the field and head towards Gabel.
- Hey, Galizé! Don’t enter the field like that! – The girl tries to alert me, but I don’t care.
After walking up to Gabel’s leg, I try to scratch it a little.
How did he manage to attach these stones to his body?!
- Get away, you useless Gallinus! – Gabel speaks, moving his leg with difficulty to try to kick me.
You called me useless!?
I easily dodge his foot and then quickly climb into his armor with my claws.
As soon as I reach his shoulder, I expect him to turn his face, which has openings for vision and breathing, and I beak his nose.
- Damn, get off me! - He says, while trying to hit me with his arm.
… Just as I expected, the friction of the stones is making it harder to move.
He was so slow that I could easily dodge his hands, In addition, my peripheral vision is huge, so there was no way I could be hit by surprise.
After I manage to hit his face about 3 times, I am satisfied and get off him.
- That Damn Gallinus! Hey, Utta, finish him! – Gabel speaks, furious.
At that moment, that great armadillo appears in front of me, with its great claws.
… Hey, friend, you know it was a joke, right?
As the armadillo had no sense of humor, I had to run for my life.
